Canik Sketch

The Canik Art Department has created the latest firearm in the fourth edition of the Canik Signature Series, the Mete SFx “Sketch.” Based on the Mete SFx, the Signature Series Sketch has a custom Cerakote design that consists of vibrant blues, black accents and hand drawn white outlines, creating a firearm that is designed to pop off the easel like the true work of art.

Each Canik Mete SFx Sketch is individually numbered from 1 to 2,500 in a never-to-be-repeated, limited-edition series and comes with a certificate of authenticity and a limited-edition patch. The Canik Mete SFx Sketch is chambered in 9mm and ships with one 18- and one 20-round magazine. The Mete SFx Sketch features an optic-ready slide, flared magazine well and additional backstraps, all color matched for the aspiring artists. Each Mete SFx Sketch ships in a custom Canik Signature Series hard case, patterned after the art styling used on the firearm along with a color matched holster and tool and cleaning kit.
